Barclays Share Discussion Threads

What they say and what they pay are two different things. The lower interest rates go the more difficult it is for banks to make money

Better start this buyback quick!!

Barclays PLC appears eager for a share buyback after getting a smaller-than-expected fine from the U.S. Department of Justice for the alleged mis-selling of mortgage-backed securities. However, it is likely to wait until after it has crossed the hurdle of the Bank of England stress test later this year before doing so, analysts say.

The Sunday Times reported April 1 that Barclays was planning a multibillion-pound share buyback following the news on March 29 that it had agreed to pay a $2 billion settlement related to misleading investors over the quality of mortgage loans behind asset-backed securities in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis. The settlement will leave Barclays with leeway to return capital to shareholders, a source close to the bank told the paper. Some analysts had warned previously that the fine could be as much as $6 billion.

A Barclays share buyback will be a "legitimate discussion point for 2019 or 2020," but is unlikely to take place much sooner, not least because the bank will want to wait until after the results of the Bank of England stress test, according to Ian Gordon, U.K. banks analyst at Investec.

Take advantage at the bottom to benefit at the top.
Do we think 130p is cheap at these levels? Recession usually goes to safe haven banks. Especially when it is the only market the governments will protect.

It hasn't worked for LLOY

Good time for Barclays to do buybacks

Guys all- reposting your posts to show how brilliant you are shows it is rare, lucky or you actually have little confidence people believe you.

Checking my holding for the first time in few years I hold 12% more shares. A few years of increasing divi will push this to 25%.

Look out for sector consolidation mergers etc to survive.

Worth a read, because it won't just be banks OTHER financial institutions are also affected as buywell has previously stated.



Investors continued their run on bank stocks, sending shares of some of America's biggest financial institutions sharply lower following the latest sign of trouble ahead for the U.S. economy.

Recession Indicators Explored

If only could have seen "it" coming?

[micronesiac] 14/8/2019 15:13

Bloodbath with Barcs at the front line.

[ny boy] 14/8/2019 15:03

Race to the bottom for banks, they will turn around but not yet, race to the bottom for currencies too, bottom not in yet for £ imo

Why is Hammond wanting us to stay in the EU, most of its members are teetering on the verge of recession, have huge debt mountains and massive problems with millions of migrants, no wonder polls indicate they back Boris, deal or no deal, it’s up to the EU to stop being bloody minded, they need a deal more than we need a deal but if they don’t want to deal then, out we must come. Markets will stabilize once they know the direction of travel
